There Are Just Things You

My Film School Is Making Movies. But, I Do Think That Being An Actor Has Served Me Immensely, As Both A Writer And Director, In Terms Of Knowing What Is Playable And What Will Be Fun To Play, For Actors, And Also How To Communicate To Actors On Set, And Not Screw Them Up And Get Them In Their Head.

I Actually Have A Thing About Proper Nouns. They Clang On My Ear In A Weird Way When I Hear Them Dropped Into Movies.

I Really Like To Travel When I Write. Something About Seeing New Things And Being In New Cultures And Environments Provokes New Thoughts In Your Head.

Film Allows Me To Ask Some Really Big Questions With The Time To Explore Them Deeply. I Love The Form.

I Think The Word 'earnest' Kind Of Has A Negative Connotation On Some Level. I Think One Of The Things That's Happened Is That Being Cynical Is Somehow Conflated With Being Sophisticated. I Think That's Problematic, To Say The Least.
